ASUS ROG RYUO III 360 ARGB All-in-one AIO Liquid CPU Cooler 360mm Radiator, Asetek 8th gen Pump Solution, Anime Matrix™ LED Display and ROG AF 12S ARGB Fan.

I haven't written a review in a while. I absolutely love this cooler. Prior to this I had the best fan that was available from Noctua. Those are still excellent, and I think they'll live longer than me. I don't expect the same life out of an AIO since I think they are expected to live for around 6 years. Anyway, this cooler is stunning. I bought it for the slight temperature decrease, compared to a fan, and the low profile with the LED screen that looks awesome. This checked all boxes for me.Before owning an AIO I was mainly worried about how hard it would be to install. It's slightly more work than a typical fan but it's doable. If you can build a PC, you can figure this out. I was also worried about the noise. The first few hours of running it I heard a few noises. It really sounded like when your old PCs would write to a HDD. After the first few hours it's been silent. No louder than a fan. Although this AIO isn't rated as high as the Ryujin iii ARGB, I didn't like the looks of that one. It looks like an old CRT TV. I recommend this 10/10. Don't be afraid to install an AIO and if you are go with the best- Asus.

This is a great AIO cooler. I have this on an unlocked 12th gen i9 processor running at a solid 5.2 GHz no issues. Swapped thermal paste for Noctua non-conductive. Fans are really quiet, pump is basically inaudible compared to the fans even running consistently at 100%. I have overclocked and ran in to memory issues before the CPU ever reached any sort of alarming point.I love the aesthetic of the cooler block. The circle with glass looks like a camera lens so it feels very retro futuristic.Pros across the board!...except one...The lighting effects. Asus' Armoury Crate software is only ok when it finally works. I had to uninstall and reinstall all the Asus software a few times in a very specific order before I eventually got everything working (mostly issues with audio drivers and RGB for ram modules interfering). Took sifting through many reddit posts and forum complaints. I have all effects off for the most part except a VU meter on the anime matrix screen that responds to computer audio which was really cool, but be aware it doesn't support super high resolution audio outputs and the motherboard driver apparently messed things up... even though I have an Asus motherboard... so you'd think they would test basic compatibility within their own products... apparently not?Built-in lighting patterns are really cheesy and you basically end up with a very specific aesthetic or nothing. Luckily it looks really good without the matrix screen doing anything, so I am not going to knock off any stars.Oh yeah, and the default pattern or animation you set is what displays on the matrix screen when the system is powered off... so unless you disable the USB lead entirely in BIIOS at power-off state, it'll always be showing something stupid even if you don't want it to.The RGB on the fans is also not super accurate... whites are always leaning more blue/purple than even some cheap LED strips you can get. If you keep it on a specific color, just be prepared to tweak the tint on the fans a bit.

works well and looks good, easy to install

Awesome cooler! I have an i9 and it runs hot, added this to my pc and the cpu now running way cooler. Great investment!

Works good, for resting temps it sits around 38-42 C, and while I play games it sits around 58 C and under. Works good at cooling a 9800x3D. Only annoying part is the display for the cooler doesn't turn off even when your PC is off... but at least it does the job.

First I want to say this was much easier then I ever thought to install. Some of the negative comments really made me anxious if I was going to mess it up. O_o. I haven’t yet finished my build so I haven’t gotten it to work yet. (I will update) It’s a heavy item. The 360mm def needs a full tower case. Almost wouldn’t fit in mine. I liked the packaging. ASUStek really shows care in how they present their products so the buyer does feel they are getting exactly what they pay for. The quality of the material does NOT feel cheap or flimsy. I only have one issue. The mounting screws for the fans to the radiator are just a little bit short. I was screwing one of the fans on and I can see if it’s coming through to the other side and it hadn’t passed yet and the corner of the fan cracks from the force of the pull downwards towards the radiator. I have a picture included. This really disappointed me. It’s a brand new PC build and it has a flaw. :’(

Been running this for over a year without a problem in my 4090/7800x3d build. Cools well. Never seen temps over 65°c on the most demanding games.

The media could not be loaded. Was having a spot of trouble keeping the overclocked 7600X temps down under load. After installing the Ryuo III, high temps are a thing of the past. My most cpu-heating apps now only push it to the low 50s, and it mostly hovers around 30 celsius doing basic, non-demanding tasks.The AC-enabled matrix (screenshot included) can take some experimentation to get used to, but it is well worth the effort if you are willing to play with it for a minute.Finally, installation was a breeze (NOTE: the radiator is THICK, so you may want to measure your clearances where RAM and motherboard heatsinks are involved). I appreciate the eco-friendly aspect of using your existing AMD brackets and screws to easily mount using ASUS' included hardware (screws straight in; no nightmare buckles to deal with). Looks clean too.
